Lisowenmacloughlin is a ringfort situated on a prominent rise in grassland, with a diameter of approximately 55 meters and an outer bank, as described by Neary in 1914. The name may derive from a combination of Old Irish elements, possibly referencing a historical or legendary figure, though specific folklore or historical associations are not well documented.
